((( suzzie ))) ... I wasn't a good candidate for EMDR so I doubt OEI would work on me either ... Nor will hypnotherapy ... It's too difficult for me to let go and let it work ... Not really my fault, but until I can do that, trying to make me do it simply isn't going to work ...
I explained to one therapist that when I feel like someone is doing something TO me instead of WITH me, it's just not gonna happen ... The reason why is because my abusers did so much TO me that I'm very resistant to ever allowing anyone to ever do anything TO me ever again ...
Perhaps if you explained it to your therapist like that they'd be more empathetic and understanding about where you're coming from ... They might not be able to continue to work with you if they can't utilize this particular method and aren't willing to do what works best or most comfortably for you (for instance, simple talk therapy works best for me), but that's no reason why they shouldn't be able to recommend you to someone else who can or will ...
